On a different note, we had another lunch and learn for a batch of co-workers this afternoon. To make everything easy my supervisor put in the exact same pizza order as yesterday.

After the meeting I was happy to see that once again the veggie pizza was demolished while the two pepperoni pizzas had barely been touched.

This led to an interesting discussion between a few co-workers and I on how its pretty typical for the cheese and veggie pizzas to go first in a large gathering. My one co-worker – who is a vegetarian – made the comment that she finds it hard to eat at pizza events because all that is usually left is pepperoni and the cheese and veggie are long gone. I always felt the same way simply because I was never a fan of pepperoni (gross) and cheese is soooo boring.

My supervisor agreed next time we would order two veggie pizzas and one pepperoni instead of the reverse effect we had this time around.

I also discussed yesterday’s comments with my supervisor and she got a good chuckle out of it. She informed me she would have ordered the veggie anyways and the light cheese wasn’t a big deal. After working together for over a year she knows how picky of an eater I am and honestly doesn’t even notice my oddness anymore. 🙂

Do you notice the cheese and veggie pizzas are the first to go when you’re in a large setting?

For most of my life I refused to eat pizza PERIOD because of my absolute distaste for pepperoni. Now that I HAVE incorporated pizza into my diet, I am definitely one of those people who bee-lines to the veggie slices!

Yep, cheese and veggie are the first to go here. Since we’re in weirdo California we get lots and lots of different kinds of veggies, so it’s fun! I always love seeing what they come up with next at company lunches. I think my favorite was an eggplant and olive with feta-YOM.

I am craving pizza now. I just read the posts from yesterday. You must have some tough skin Meghann. I think that you are very balanced in your eating. You enjoy your “treats” and you eat healthy food. I just need to learn to enjoy treats without stuffing myself with them. It is always all or nothing with me.

There are a lot of recovery utilities to be found on the internet. As long you haven’t taken new photos yet, they’re still there and can be saved. I did the same thing and was able to recover them all. Try googling “memory card recovery utility”.

I’m a meat eater, and I think I’ve had maybe 1 slice of pepperoni pizza in my life. Pepperoni weirds me out; it doesn’t seem like real meat. And I love veggie pizza because I feel like I need to eat veggies at every meal so unless I’m having a side salad why not throw it on top?

Definitely! We usually get a lot of pizza, but it seems like the gourmet/veggie ones are always gone the fastest. I should tell the person who orders them to get extra veggie next time and see what happens.

Yep! Last year at a work event we ordered lots of cheese, pepperoni, and sausage and just a few veggie. The veggie was gone SO fast and the only thing leftover was pepperoni (yuck). I’m a meat eater, but I prefer cheese or veggie pizza myself.

HHA my coworkers are pretty much the opposite. I work in Philly so we often order the Cheesesteak pizza – honestly I tried a bite once to see what the big deal was and it was GROSS and tasteless (although I love actual cheesesteaks). But I do agree that anything with toppings – be it veggie, cheesesteak, etc .. goes faster than just cheese.

I think it’s usually the the more interesting pies that tend to go first. Let’s face it – a loaded veggie pizza looks a lot more delish than boring pepperoni! Although I really have no clue, since pizza isn’t my first food love haha.

I love plain cheese pizza!! Almost as much as I love plain vanilla ice cream =).

That being said, I never really thought about it before now, but where I work the veggie pizza is always the first to go too!! And pepperoni/buffalo chicken is always left…. I wonder why we don’t just order more veggie!

I love vegetables but my favorite pizzas are plain… sauce, a touch of cheese, and fresh basil. If I add veggies I add very little because I hate when the crust gets soggy, and often a soggy crust is caused by heavy toppings.

Anyway, for me it depends on the crowd. At work, where there are quite a few vegetarians and health-conscious people, the veggie def goes first. At my boyfriend’s football Sundays…well they never have veggie pizza but that would more certainly be the last to go.

Mmm veggie pizza is my favorite! That’s a great idea to order it with light cheese 🙂 Honestly I’ve never really paid attention to which types of pizzas have been leftover…. Probably because I never waited around – when they say it’s OK to line up and grab your pizza, I’m typically one of the first ones in line LOL.

definitely not at my work haha, you must not work with a lot of men! glad that you’re coworkers are more open minded to the veggie option and understand how a simple slice of pizza can have some nutritious value by taking this route – good for them 🙂 !!! now if only the folks at my work thought the same way…… !

When I was a kid, I would eat nothing but cheese or extra cheese, ha ha. These days I do notice that the veggie goes first, then the cheese, even amongst meat eaters. Unless it’s my husband because he’s not big on veggies or “plain” stuff but he is the exception 😉
